Hubs are 100/120 spaced, so the frame and fork need to be spread and re-aligned. The drop-outs have to be filed as well to allow for the bigger axles found in standard road hubs.

I used some older Universal sidepull calipers which have a nice long reach on the rear which you will need even with the 700c rims. They work much better than the stamped steel monstrosities that come stock.
